Remembering Summer Camp

It seems like centuries since I went to camp. I remember the anticipation, the packing, the stashing of money for tuck time.

When I was young I got to to summer camp a few times. Some of my favorite memories from my childhood are camp memories. Life long friends and penpals can be found, there were crafts and skills to learn. Who doesn’t remember learning how to make a friendship bracelt? At camp I learned canoe and swim at camp. I learned how to make a fire at camp.

Some of my favorite parts of summer camp where craft time, campfires every night, learning what a smore was, and tuck time. If you went to camp I am sure you tried to play a prank or two. My favorite prank pulled was flying a certain item up a flag pole. I was 10 at the time.

If you went to summer camp what did you love about it?

My daughter who is 14, has gone to a few summer camps but they have all been here in the city. Her favorite so far was Circus Camp..think you are at camp and learning circus skills! She also has learned to canoe, swim, and draw at camp. This summer she really wants to do a sleep away adventure camp.
